How to get involved

A good way to get involved is to introduce yourself on the mailing list. A simple email about yourself saying what your goals are, how you might like to contribute, and what you would like to get from the group is the standard introduction protocol. It does not have to be formal of course. Here is a recent example: [http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2007/12/msg00062.html example introduction email]

After that it is simply a matter of finding modules or packages that you use or are interested in. Follow the guide for subversion (link above) and you are off and running!

[:DebianDeveloper:Debian developers] can join even easier. Simply svn-inject your Perl module package (see the [http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/subversion.html Subversion guide]) and mail a note to the group. All Debian developers already have commit access. Remember to check out the sources back to avoid a fork

If you don't have time even for this, just mail the group that you want to give the package and we'll handle it from there.
